Pipo S2

Everything works great on this 8" tablet, but I have an issue with the battery.Although it takes many hours, my Pipo S2 will eventually charge to 99%. It then discharges very quickly into the 30's % range without even using it. I then tried to recalibrate the battery but it requires to be rooted first.I then used 2 different rooting methods to root the unit. Both times I was notified that the tablet is rooted. Then when I used the Root Checker App to verify it I got this message: "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access. ++Due to security concerns, Google bans applications from providing root access ++Will not root this device. Will verify proper root installation."Does anyone have a solution to my problem. Any comments?

When running Moborobo it shows S2, the firmware version and the number of various files on the device [all on the right side of the window], but nothing shows up on the left side where the device screen is. It says "Failed to load device model! Please click to refresh!" Of course nothing happens when I try to refresh it. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Sorry, I know this works for a Friend but to his S2 it didn´t show "S2" at moborobo, maybe it works for him because theres no Model Number.
Did you search Google for that ? Some Guys at Slatedroid also rooted the S2 with the Jellybean batch script, but I didn´t do this before.

Ok, but this happens to more Pipo Tablets, as I know also the S1 has this Problem. But as long as it´s only a optical Battery Display Thing, for me this would be no Problem...
But you´re right to return it, hope for you, if you get a New One, it runs better !

hi
thanks for this helpful thread.i have a similar battery issue with my s2.i was able to root it and used the battery calibration app.it actually worked once.the battery lasted me at least 2 days of heavy use.then the problem of not reaching 100% charged status came back after i recharged it.it also drained very quickly within a few minutes of use. would reflashing it to the latest official rom work? anyone here tried this way?
please help.i cant afford to send this back to the seller (in china),also im afraid they will send me a replacement with the same problem.

I did send mine back and replaced it with a iFive MX 8" tablet. It has its own issues. Often when I boot it up it shows the little android laying on its back with an exclamation mark on his belly. I then have to hold down the start button for about a minute to shut it off. Or it won't respond to the ON button and it will only start up by me pressing the start and -volume at the same time. At other times no matter what I'm doing on the tablet it will automatically revert to the home screen. Very odd. I'm losing my confidence in the Chines tablet line-up, to say the least. There are too many companies competing for a share in the tablet market, yet they seem to be unwilling to put more testing into their products before as well as support after offering them for sale.
